Hi! Very interesting game you made :) I enjoyed the perspective of it and the simplicity of just being a Bee! I experienced the same issue as Kaltrie where I couldn't interact with the menu when I went back though :/ maybe something to look into! All in all well done and congrats on your submission!
I imagine that was the intention, but the atmosphere feels quite creepy for a game about a little bee, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, the type of environment makes it very hard to see into the distance with all the fog, especially when trying to return to the hive after flying far away.
As for the controls, ascending is quite difficult, but everything else feels very polished and I really like the approach to the mechanics. Maybe the inside of the hive feels a bit strange in terms of how the panels are arranged, but I enjoyed the idea of upgrading abilities.
I definitely wasn’t expecting another bee to be the one to kill me, it came at lightning speed. It’s a very interesting game concept, and with a bit more color it could look amazing.
That said, there are a couple of things that could be improved. When you press Escape and return to the main menu, you can't start or quit the game anymore, and the same thing happens if you die and choose to go back to the menu. Also, the wing-flapping sound is extremely quiet, you can barely hear it unless the volume is at max. Some ambient music would have been a nice addition as well.
Great job overall!
Good aesthetics and use of the theme. It was interesting playing as a bee but I did find it quite hard once a wasp spotted me. I ran back to the hive with it chasing me then leveled up a bit. Once I exited the hive he was still there and quickly killed me! Maybe they could fly away from the hive once you go inside? Good game!
This one was an interesting use of the theme. Seen a lot of space games (including my own), don't think I'll see many if any others involving a little bee. The flying system felt smooth and nice to control. Sound would be nice. And at one point flying around I forget where my hive was, an indicator would be nice to see. Apart from that though it's great, congrats!
A cool little game, feels a bit off without music also the cursor disappeared somehow when I died; other than that great job!
This is an awesome little game, and I love how you used the theme to have us played as a bee!
The atmosphere is really nice. Great work!
Would appreciate if you checked ours out too, but no pressure.
cool game
I like the aesthetic.
Gameplay and aesthetics were really good!
pretty cool concept!
Bzzzzzz man I must have been a bee in a former life because I totally jived with this lifestyle. Honey every day? Sign me up. But I don't like wasps in real life, and I didn't like them here either. Just let me bee cozy and pollinate! Very cute little experience, thanks 🐝
Haha, you’re definitely the MVP (Most Valuable Pollinator) around here 🐝💛
We’re so glad you vibed with the cozy bee life — no wasps allowed, just peace, pollen, and honey-sweet vibes. Thanks for buzzing by and leaving such a sweet note! 🌻🍯
Very cool! Dig the idea and the mechanics!
